> It's value is only what people will pay for it.

If that is how you define it then by definition that is true. It is not the only possible definition though.

In my world I prefer to sleep in a place where the rain doesn’t fall on me. Having a place with a roof over me is value to me. If this meaning of the word “value” does not work for you then simply we are talking different languages.

Perhaps try thinking about “how much would i need to pay to provide the same neccesity if I
wouldn’t own this place”. Maybe that puts it into economic terms what we are talking here.
> For most adults, a resting heart rate above about 60 bpm is a sign of serious underlying pathology.

Sources? The claim I most recently heard is that 60-80 bpm is within normal range (which itself surprised me, because I've usually been told a target of 60 bpm resting heartrate, leaving aside the 40 bpm achievable by some athletes).
There are lots of ways to disable vpn : basic firewall on the router, if you have access

Those reviews are mostly tourists trying “local” dishes. I tried your method for Zanzibar and found reviews from “local” guides who were anywhere but from Zanzibar. And having visited Zanzibar before, those dishes aren’t really local either
It used to be exclusive to thinkpads, then started showing up across more business-oriented laptops, I think some Macbooks got support, then it filtered down to various consumer models.
This is mostly correct, in our POC video we showcase a lab where we go from being an adjacent host on the network to being the DHCP server.

We did this by DHCP starving the true DHCP server and hoarding all the leases. Then we serve our own and do not have to compete with the true DHCP.

There’s network protections against this such as guest network isolation or switches with DHCP snooping protections. However, those are usually on enterprises and relying on those being in place kind of removes the point of “securing an untrusted network” like many VPN providers claim.
What is the fix for this vulnerability? Is it the router that needs to get a software update, the VPN client, the OS, or some/all of the above?

can be but that wasn't what i was experiencing
That article is referenced in the Appendix:

However, neither technique described in the August 2023 paper leveraged DHCP option 121 to push routes. Pushing routes through DHCP has a significantly higher impact from the same attacker vantage point (the ability to hand out IP leases for a non-RFC1918 range or spoofing DNS replies).
I highly encourage dedicated VPN routers at home with each router having it's own wifi network as a way to connect to VPNs. It's easier to connect and more reliable than locally running VPN software on each device imho.

Eg. I have a router sharing wifi for 'work' with a permanently maintained vpn connection to the workplace intranet. Another sharing wifi as 'Australia' that I connect to whenever I want to watch TV from Australia with a VPN to an Australian server and lastly the standard home Internet wifi.

It's super easy to do if you have a couple of old wifi routers and even cheap home ones seem to have some VPN support these days. A big advantage, aside from centralizing the VPN setup so you don't screw it up is that it's trivial to connect any device to the VPN. Just join the relevant wifi address! Boom I'm now in a VPN to Australia from any device without messing around setting up that device specifically because I connected to the 'Australia' wifi.

I do this with multiple old routers but I actually think there's probably a market for a single home router that vpns to multiple locations in the world with a different wifi network for each of those just for the sake of easily having your TV/Roku/iPad appearing to be from somewhere else trivially.
If you could list some hardware and software, it would save us the effort ...
Another option is the Solaris/Illumos "direct binding" scheme where each object stores for each external symbol the SONAME of the object meant to provide it. It's a lot like pre-linking, but a) less intrusive, b) less fast (because it's less intrusive).

Ah, I had trusted when Google said "local" guide, but maybe I should not have!
Last week, as part of the US Department of Justice investigation, documents were released that showed Google paid Apple $20 billion in 2022 to retain the search partnership.

This is almost 20% of Apple’s total operating profit for the year.

It’s never a good idea for a company to be so reliant on a single partnership or client.

It distorts incentives, is high risk and sometimes, as in Apple’s case leaves a company blind to other opportunities it could be pursuing.

On top of it all, Apple’s search partnership with Google trades their customer’s privacy for search $ kickbacks.

Based upon all this, it should be time for Apple to end this partnership and pursue their own search solution.
Yes - my plan if ever separated from employer insurance is to manipulate my income and expenses (I have significant investments I can draw upon and access to a family real estate portfolio that allows me to live rent-free) in order to get the full subsidy. Most people are not like me however; my buddy has several times had his car impounded for not paying car insurance. I don’t think health insurance will make the cut in his budget.
I agree that house prices should come down.

But given that you need a home, what's the difference between $1000 in rent+fees and $1000 in mortgage+taxes+fees?

Normally the biggest difference between renting and buying with debt is that you can stop renting. But you're not going to stop having a home.

I think there’s a distinction to be made between people who are working on stuff that doesn’t end up providing any benefit to the company to the company and people who are straight up not burning any calories.

When I worked in big tech, I spent a lot of time working on stuff that didn’t ship, or shipped but never got traction, which ended up providing no benefit to the company. This is IMO largely the responsibility of management, although there’s certainly an idea that line workers have a responsibility to find impactful projects/teams to work on.

Most Americans don't realize just how huge and extensive medicare/medicaid is. They cover 65mil and 88mil people respectively, including 40mil children. That's 153mil people out of 330mil population -- that's 46% of the USA's population. Total spending is $1.9T for both. A cost of $12,400/person covered. $1.9T is 7.5% of the total US GDP of $25.44T. Medicare/medicaid is a massive program. Bigger than social security at $1.4T. It's crazy huge.

A lot of it comes down to what you are doing- for hard labor in harsh physical conditions: mud, gravel, heavy brush, etc. during things like military work, commercial fishing, hunting, and construction lightweight backpacking or climbing gear doesn't hold up at all, you need something much heavier duty, and therefore heavier.

For hiking or climbing, especially intermittently as a hobby, and in conditions where you aren't making a lot of full body contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces, weight is a bigger consideration than durability.

I got pretty tired of how expensive lightweight gear just doesn't hold up even for recreational outdoor use... for example you can buy thin nylon backpacking pants at REI for $150, that are pretty similar in design and materials to a $50 pair of 'tactical military/police style pants' but the REI ones will rip in half the first time they snag on a bush. The military pants are made from much much heavier material, and will last far longer in harsh conditions, at the expense of more weight.
For those who aren't familiar with this, after the IDF shot American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh to death, Israeli security forces attacked her funeral procession. There's a video of Israeli soldiers physically beating the pall bearers, and the coffin nearly falling to the ground.[0]

If you do this its really worth thinking about the order of data and the size of the partitions. Bigger ones make sense locally but much smaller ones make sense remotely.

Ordering your files how you query them makes a big difference, the goal is to select only the subset of data you care about.

Lastly, this used to require other libs but may be baked in to duckdb now but you can have a single file with all the parquet metadata in. This then means you can load a single data file in and then know where to go for the rest.

“DuckDB in general keeps surprising me with these unobtrusive low friction integrations.”

I couldn’t agree more. DuckDB has been fantastic. I originally started playing around with it for poking at parquet files, but often use it for CSVs, JSON, whatever.

And another thing to note is duckDB plays really nice in a Jupyter notebook. Very useful when playing around with different data.

Yes, but this disables a user's VPN without alerting the user.

Perhaps I didn’t and your kind and helpful comment enlightened me. Historically many people still walked on the street even with trams/trolleys/cable cars/carriages/horses on them too.

Automobiles fundamentally changed how our society conceived of the street.
Corporations are free associations of people, which are protected by the first amendment.

Your rights don't end the moment you slap a new name on something.

Do you actually contend that the first amendment only allows individuals to speak and not groups of individuals? That the right to speak disappears the moment one finds a friend with whom you collaborate?

Also, the entire verbiage is incorrect. The Constitution grants no human right. It prevents the American government from interfering with natural rights. Assembly and speech are natural rights.

Corporations have rights because they are free groups of people, who all have natural rights. THose don't disappear the moment they band together. Quite the opposite, as I'm sure you know from our shared support for unions.
> china isn't a democracy because they have censorship

You got that wrong. The reason China is not a democracy, is instead that it is a dictatorship, that's why it's not a democracy.

Democracies can have censorship, there's no contradiction. (Although less common.)

For example, IMO it's good to censor some of Putin's manipulation, because most people are dangerously easy to fool. It's a mistake to let an enemy state broadcast their psychological warfare unhindered.
There are any number of organisations and organisational functions which are essentially risk management. Some of those risks are upside (new products / markets), some are downside (loss, fraud, moat-building, etc.).

You'd expect that a VC of all people would appreciate the fact that in high-tech spaces, many new ventures are required to find one unicorn, with absolute failure rates of about 90%,[1] and Angellist giving 1:40 odds (2.5%) likelihood of seed-stage startups reaching US$1b valuation ("unicorn").[2]

Google has hit paydirt once with advertising, and spent most of its subsequent life either reinforcing that status (with varying levels of legality) or seeking out alternative hits, with ... stunningly little success. But then, nobody else has had any real success there either, save Facebook.

There are also the roles within organisations which are principally risk mitigation. I had the insight a few years back that ops is essentially a risk-management role.[3] In one of my earlier mentions of this on HN someone responded that that is in fact how Google treats its SRE role, and is a point emphasised in its fairly well-known book on the topic.

Another point that's become glaringly clear over the past few years is that efficiency and resilience are contrasting points on the optimisation space. I'm not sure if that's one-dimensional or multi (think "fast, cheap, good"), but it does have multiple optima depending on the specified criteria.

And ... in some spaces, notably pharmaceuticals (very large search space, very high search costs, long-term exploration), a business model which has emerged is to spin out new-molecule / treatment development indepenently of the majors (Pfizer, J&J, Roche, Novartis, Merck, AstrZeneca, GSK, etc.), either as controlled subsidiaries or independent ventures, and then aquire the successes. Contrast other R&D-heavy models such as 3M, Edison Mfg. Co., DuPont, etc. There's also the hit-factory / tentpole model of film, music,[4] and print (a small number of hits supports a much larger mid-list). I'd argue that much of the start-up and established-firm tech space has come to resemble these models, for much the same underlying dynamic logic.

+100, this problem with popular chat services has irked me for a long time too. Anything that forces you to be constantly monitoring the chat stream synchronously is annoying. Some people can do that and still get deep work done, but I can't. I much prefer async chat, be it email or reddit/hn or some other attempts like Atlassian's erstwhile chat client. Always glad to see new attempts at solving this problem, thanks cq2 team! Will be following the project.
Lot's of good meta Wikipedia articles, but this is one of the most deranged.

You HAVE to pay back your debt if you want to pocket all your profits. If your down payment is 25k and you buy 250k house, you need to borrow 225k for your "leverage". Now you get lucky and years later, AFTER you have paid 25k + 225k + interest + fees which amounts to at least 300k, prices have gone up and you can sell that house for 400k. Nice you think! I will make 375k profit just by investing 25k! NO, that's not how "leverage" works at all. At that point you have paid at least 300k to get 400k which makes not that great considering it's been 20 years or so.

The logic you are using is flawed beyond all reasoning to be honest. People who are in a position to both pay back their mortgages AND invest heavily elsewhere are already rich.
You can get the same semantics as for direct binding using symbol versioning, but direct binding is faster.

Also, symbol versioning is only really better than direct binding if you end up having multiple versions of the same symbol provided by the same object, but that's relatively hard to use, so it's really only ever used for things like the C library itself. Mind you, that is a very valuable feature when you need it. In Solaris itself when we needed to deal with the various different behaviors of snprintf() there just wasn't a good way to do it, and only symbol versioning with support for multiple versions of a symbol would have helped.

Search is a hard problem, and if they haven't decided to cut the $20 billion, it's because they believe Google is the best.

I do think Google has been decreasing in quality over the years, but when I use any of the privacy focused alternatives like DuckDuckGo, Brave or Kagi, I end up using a !g bang every 2/3 searches.

The others just aren't there yet, and they know that.

The intuitive answer is competition, where customers move from user-hostile companies to new ones.

The problem in my mind is that the largest companies have too much efficiencies of scale to compete with on price.

When competition can't undercut on price, it is hard to argue that customers aren't being served by monopoly mega corps.

Same problem as all electric technologies have: you're dependent on the grid capacity to provide your service. You can't store electricity as affordably as gas and oil. In an extreme cold spell your grid is now being taxed at a maximum and it's a life or death situation if there is no alternative source of heating fuel.

Heat pumps are awesome as long as you don't critically need heat in a critical situation.
Given that the slogan of DEFCON is "Everybody Dies" and the slogan of Nukefix is "The Challenge Is To Develop a Safer World", I think they have somewhat different victory conditions...

A different angle: cutting private personal talks and interpersonal bonding can help a lot in remote environments.

It might feel paradoxal, but as there's little context on each other's private life in the first place, private talk stays limited and trite (basically close to grocery lane small talk)

For instance imagine having a call for reworking a service and the other side starts asking what you did during the weekend, which happens to be medical follow up for your kids on the spectrum. Either you start explaining all your life, or you just cut it down and deal with the purpose of the meeting.

There's of course a ton of personal preference, some people thrive in grocery lane talks. I just wouldn't expect most people to be so.

Their point is that if 100% (for the sake of argument) of the population contains microplastics, and the combination of that PLUS the two genes, equals Alzheimers, then the microplastics was still a cause, it's just that in reality, given the entire population now has the first factor, the gene is what is appearing as the sole contributing factor. But that doesn't mean we can rule out other (albeit ubiquitous) environmental factors as additional contributing (or perhaps even required) causes.
Have you checked the price for a system capable of using two redundant 10Gbps links lately? It’s cheap. You could put gear like this in your closet at home and not feel particularly silly about it, especially if you are willing to buy still-current used enterprise gear.

For that matter, have you checked the price, in qty 1, of a server that will absolutely destroy anything reasonable from a major cloud vendor in terms of IOPS to stick behind that switch or router? Even if you believe the numbers on the website of a major server vendor and forget to ask for a discount, it’s still quite reasonable in comparison to a major cloud.
But what if that's just a cover story and the conspiracy goes even deeper?
